Stargazer Uranoscopus cognatus is demersal fish found under 20m of the sea. Three<br />

populations were randomly selected from Pahang trawl station. The research carried<br />

out to study the population genetics and genetic structure of the fish using<br />

Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit 1(CO1), helps in fisheries management and for<br />

conservation purposes. In 42 specimens (419 Bp), a total of 11 haplotypes were<br />

detected. Data on the 3 populations shows that the haplotype diversity (h=0.459;<br />

Pi=0.00159) is low, a total of 31 specimens in haplotype one showing that the<br />

specimen in Pahang water is not structured, while the total number of mutations and<br />

segregating site is 12.<br />
